That the body is now more susceptible to

About one year ago my daughter commenced

with ahumor. She was low spirited; troubled
with cold hands and feet; her blood seemed
caused us great anxiety. After taking one
bottle of your Sarsaparilla she began TO inn
prove; and she now has a good appetite and
can take much longer walks. Ter humor is
nothing compared with what 1t was one year
ago. She Is in better spirits, is not troubled
with cold hands and feet as previously And
! attribute this improvement in her condi-

taken six bottles and intends to continue its

A Vegetarian Dict.

1.-THE essential thing TO remember" says
Laura G. Holloway in 1.-THE Buddhist Diet
Book, "the essential thing to remember, in
beginning a vegetarian diet, is to rightly COM
bine alimentary substances which differ in
their compositions This is the true secret of
vegetable cooking, together with its careful
and proper preparation. There is no dearth
of food or of ways Of cooking it, and the in
spiration to adopt it is increased when all the
benefits derived from it are realized" Mrs.
Holloway has done very wisely'to lay stress
on how rightly to combine alimentary sub
stances" since most of the opponents of q
purely vegetable diet base some of their
strongest arguments against it on the fact
that in the sameness of such food cloying
nauseating effect is produced, which results
in repulsive feeling about the very name

Gas In the Nnraaru-

would most strongly urge mothers not to
use gas in their nurseries, or paraffine lamps,
If it can possibly be avoided Gas kills almost
every plant kept in tie room where it is
burned, and children are just like plants; they
require above all things pure air, light and
sunshine. Not gaslight but as much day
light as possible. The sunniest room with the
biggest window should be the little ones
room, and no dark hangings to hold dust and
obscure the light. Gas is injurious in many
ways. Its light is too strong for the eyes, it
absorbs all the pure air in room before the
children can get chance, the heat OF it is
extremely enervating, and there is always the
danger of leakages; leakages 50 small as to be
hardly perceptible, but quite large enough to
be pernicious to health. Paraffine lamps or
movable lamps Of any kind are extremely
dangerous in nursery.7-Cor. Housewife.

There is no foe to domestic peace and COM
fort like business. 1t arises largely from
lack of system or plan and from too great at
tention to minor details, Some housekeep-
ers have the habit of stirring up everything
at once. They begin their days work any
where without any relation to what is most
urgent or necessary to be accomplished. They
lose sight of the always excellent rule--one
thing at time, and that first which is most
important. 1t is good plan to sit quietly
down at the beginning of each day and take
a survey of the domestic field Decide what
must be done, and what in case of lack Of
time, or the intervention of other duties, may
be put off, and then set to work without undue
haste to perform necessary duties Learn to
do it quietly, without noise Be careful to
take no useless steps. There is vast amount
of strength expended in this way, and ner-
vous energy wasted -BTattleboro Household.

Miss Nellie Arthur, daughter of the late ex-

makes rare promise of developing into a
charming woman. She has her fathers
kindly eyes, and also his brow. Her nose
bears resemblance to his, but, of course, is
smaller and more exquisite. She has a mouth
as soft and sweet as the mouth Of the Georgian

the "only perfect mouths in the world" Her

The Buffalo Conrier tells Of 4-year-old
citizen of that place who, having been

and told that the Lord knew every act of
her life. In a half repentant frame Of
mind she walked into the front parlor, and
was pensively regarding the fire in the
CRATE when the cat came along and tried to
work into her good graces by purring and
rubbing against her ankles. Even that did
not please her, and at last her mother heard

Prudent Comnrnmisa.

Every man must recognize the fact chat
prudent compromise is the main ingredient Of
earthly happiness. AS some men are born
misers, SO some women are born housekeepers
The ono consideration, the one ambition Of
their life, is TO put from their premises the
least infniteSimal particle Of dust and dirt,
to polish their tinwaro to a degree of bril-
liancy that shall rival the sun, and to scour
their windows to a degree Of clearness that
shall rival the other, and the full and free in
diligence of this desire is as criminally selfish
as is the indulgence of the miser's money
boarding propensity.-G Housekeeping.
